The Israeli army announced at dawn on Sunday a “preemptive attack” against the Palestinian factions’ movement, and Lebanese and Israeli sources confirmed that the Israeli army carried out more than 40 raids on areas in southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese factions also announced in a statement the start of the attack on Israel, in response to the assassination of one of its most prominent leaders, Fouad Shukr, in an air attack on a special Israeli military target.
